Project X Zone’s Official North American Release Date Has Been Announced

Somehow, Sega, Capcom, and Namco Bandai have managed to do all the crazy legal paperwork needed to get the bizarre tactical RPG crossover fest that is Project X Zone an American release, and now we know when to expect it.

Project X Zone will be headed to the 3DS on June 25th in North America. This news comes by way of the official Project X Zone site which also lists the game as available for pre-order. Unfortunately, an official European release date has not yet been given. Sorry to all of you gamers on the other side of the pond. Looks like you’ll have to wait a while to match up Ryu with Akira.

The site also gives us our first look at Project X Zone’s localized translation, and the story is about as wacky as you can imagine.

The ancient treasure called the “Portalstone” has been stolen and a rift in time and space has allowed crossovers from various universes. The ambitions of various people, organizations and creatures have become intertwined, turning this incident into a great source of turmoil. The past, future, and even distant worlds from other dimensions have been drawn into what will be become a long journey for our heroes.

Hey, this hokey fanfiction story lets Kos-Mos team up with John McClane from Die Hard so we aren’t complaining.
